Why is Bill Clinton a better advocate for Obama than he was for Hillary?
The Obama campaign's announcement today that its closing statement to voters will feature a direct-to-camera TV ad by Bill Clinton raises a question: Why has the former president been a more effective campaign surrogate for Obama, his former foe, than he was for his own wife?
Praised by both Obama and Mitt Romney alike, Clinton's value to the Democratic ticket this time isn't (or shouldn't be) in dispute, for his line about "arithmetic" that became a rallying cry for the Obama campaign, to his simple, attack-blunting denial that Barack Obama was seeking to undo his welfare reforms.
Story Continued Below
Contrary to popular recollection, Clinton's stumping on Hillary's behalf in 2008 wasn't all bad. Yes, Clinton had some real flare-ups in 2008, and it's these images—telling Charlie Rose a vote for Obama was "a roll of the dice," likening him to Jesse Jackson, getting red-faced in encounters with the press—that came to dominate the narrative and present a drag on Hillary's efforts during some crucial stretches of the campaign. (Never mind the armchair psychology about him actually wanting Hillary to lose on some level, which is nonsense.) But Clinton also motivated lots of voters to go the polls, showing up in towns like Clarksburg, W.V., that were unaccustomed to governors visiting them, let alone former presidents. It was a mixed performance.
Clinton is obviously having a different effect this time around, from the convention-defining speech in Denver to his regularly demonstrated ability since then to advocate more effectively for the Obama agenda than Obama himself can. In 2008, he was an unpredictable weapon, to be deployed with care in front of friendly audiences; this time, Obama has jokingly suggested nominating as him "secretary of explaining stuff."
So what's different?
It's not about the effort Bill Clinton is putting in or his enthusiasm for the task, certainly.
One day during the 2008 primary in the Clinton war room, I was writing up an email to some colleagues recapping the day and listing some reporters we needed to get back to. There was a pro forma inquiry from a local paper in an uncompetitive state, and I wrote something like, "Someone needs to call them to answer basic questions."
"I'll call 'em," someone behind me volunteered.
Unknown to me, Clinton, who didn't visit very often, had been peeking at my computer over my shoulder.
"You said someone needs to call them," he said. "I'll do it."
We ultimately talked him out of it—the job was more suited to a junior or mid-level staffer—but the point is this: Lack of desire was not the issue.
One popular theory is that Clinton has changed since 2008. He has a better understanding of the pratfalls of the post-90s Twitter-driven news cycle, the thinking goes, and has learned to manage the new press climate with greater agility.
Maybe. Clinton may have been unprepared for the mini-soundbite landmines that carefully spliced YouTube videos made possible. And he certainly needed to adjust to the idea that you could no longer make a mess in the morning and clean it up in the afternoon (in time for the evening news).
But really, it's the circumstances of Clinton's task that are different this time around.
In 2008, his surrogate duties for Hillary came with several built-in challenges. For one thing, when you're stumping for your own wife, there's less moral authority behind your endorsement. Of course the man supports his wife. Mandatory endorsements have their limits.
Now, though, Clinton is going the extra mile to tell voters to trust the very man who ousted his wife. Even if it's one Democratic president endorsing another, that still carries some moral weight. The well-known fact that Clinton and Obama are decidedly not buddies only reinforces the sense that the former president's motivations are substantial ones.
Similarly, back in 2008, there was the concern that a former president might overshadow the candidate actually on the ballot, rather than let her shine. As a result, he was held off the campaign trail for several months, and only deployed in the most strategic manner. He constantly had to take care not to pump up his own record too much, in case voters (or more often, reporters) decided he was diminishing the candidate, or acting out some unfulfilled wish that he were running in her place.
This time around, his candidate is the sitting president of the United States. There's no danger that Bill Clinton is going to overshadow Barack Obama. The former president may brag and opine essentially as he sees fit. He and Obama now have a shared interest in reminding voters how good things were in the last Democratic administration, before the tax-cutting, surplus-squandering Republicans took over the White House.
Another challenge in 2008 was the particular danger of a primary campaign. Surviving eight years of the other party trying to ruin you, as Clinton did throughout the 90s, is one thing. But during the Hillary-Obama battle, suddenly the Clintons found themselves with half of their own party—the very one it had led for a decade—opposed to them, sometimes pretty belligerently.
Clinton, Obama had argued, had failed to achieve transformative change the way Ronald Reagan had. He had gotten caught up in partisan battles stemming from baby boomer psychodramas that had handicapped Washington, by Obama's telling.
And taking the critique to a new level, Obama's staff disseminated to reporters a series of questions they suggested be asked about Clinton's financial dealings. To say this bothered the former president—"a hit job," he called it—would be an understatement.
Now? Clinton is once again the toast of his party, and savoring the role of savior. Clinton's own party is squarely behind him. And Republicans, in an effort to paint Obama as relatively extreme and ineffective, have taken to hailing Clinton's tenure as the good old days of cooperation and reform.
It's a lot easier to be a smiling, level-headed surrogate when the whole world's singing your praises. It's also easier to keep an even keel when you don't have as much personally riding on the outcome.
Clinton was in a near-constant state of rage in 2008 about what he perceived as the media's free ride for Obama, and correspondingly harsh treatment of his wife.
While the young senator could attack Hillary for engaging in old-style dirty politics, Obama, who had just as many pollsters and oppo researchers, was treated as the candidate of change. He was particularly incensed by what he deemed dishonest accounting of Hillary's and Obama's positions on the Iraq war, a belief he will no doubt take with him to the grave.
The coverage of the campaign—and especially his role in it—has been starkly different this time around. There's a reason for that.
Blake Zeff is a former presidential campaign aide to Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton and a former aide to Chuck Schumer and Eric Schneiderman.

Anathema, a band from Liverpool, has been around since 1992. The hard-rocking group has released nine studio albums, three EPs and two live albums. Over the years Anathema has toured extensively around the world -- except in America.
The band has been conspicuously absent as a live act in the states. Anathema has only performed twice as a full band in North America -- at the Milwaukee Metal Fest in 2000 and 2001.
That�s about to change for the sextet which features brothers Vincent Cavanagh (vocals, guitars), Daniel Cavanagh (vocals, guitars) and Jamie Cavanagh (bass), brothers John Douglas (drums) and Lee Douglas (vocals), and Daniel Cardoso (keyboards).
Anathema has just arrived for a North American tour with co-headliner Alcest and special guest Mamiffer. The tour begins on Sept. 12 in Philadelphia with a show at Underground Arts.
�We�ve never toured America so you can imagine how excited we are,� said Vincent Cavanagh, during a recent phone interview from his home in Paris. �Like every young rocker from Liverpool, the dream is to tour America.�
When Anathema, whose name means �something or someone that one vehemently dislikes,� began playing more than 20 years ago, it was as a dark and gloomy metal band. Over the years, the band�s music became more atmospheric and experimental and less dirge metal.
�Not having toured in America all these years is a blessing in disguise because of where the band is now,� said Cavanagh. �America is a clean slate for us. We can show what we can do now and not have to deal with any preconceptions. America is our place. Our music is perfect for America.
�Our first album came out in 1993 so we�re celebrating our 20th anniversary. We�ve had a massive evolution in our sound. We were around 15 when we started so the change for us has been completely natural.�
Even though the personnel are basically the same, the band that released its debut album �Serenades� in 1993 is vastly different from the band that recorded �Weather Systems� in 2012.
�Not many bands have gone through such a dramatic change,� said Cavanagh. �Albums are like a snapshot of what you can do at the time. Metal was a part of growing up but, as Liverpool musicians, the Beatles were always within us.
�Loud metal music was what we played when we started -- when we were just kids. Everything our band has done has been a natural evolution. Our early stuff was �post-rock� before its time. The band progresses all the time. Each album sounds different. The shift to clean vocals happened when I became the singer.
�The fourth album (�Alternative 4� in 1998) was when I learned how to sing -- to drop the bravado and just sing. Ever since then, I�ve been trying to improve. When I sing, it feels like I�m a passenger. The sound passes through me. Singing and creativity go hand-in-hand.�
Anathema will perform on Sept. 12 at 9 p.m. at Underground Arts (1200 Callowhill St., Philadelphia, undergroundarts.org/). Tickets are $16.

A new play about climate change opened Thursday in New York that's part-thriller, part-musical, part-educational and all-controversial.
It's backed by Uncle Sam.
The National Science Foundation, a federal agency, usually funds research projects. But in a rare move, it gave a nearly $700,000 grant for the play "The Great Immensity," a mystery with music and songs that's playing at New York's Public Theater in Manhattan.
The Brooklyn-based theater company that developed the play, The Civilians, also received two federal grants from the National Endowment for the Arts that totaled $65,000.
But the science agency grant, made in 2010, is really bugging Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas, the chairman of the House Science, Space and Technology Committee.
"I support NSF research that can lead to discoveries that change our world, expand our horizons and save lives," said Smith. "But spending taxpayer dollars to fund a climate change musical called 'The Great Immensity' sounds more like an immense waste of taxpayer dollars, money that could have funded higher priority research."
Smith highlighted the $697,177 grant for the play at a congressional hearing this month as one of several questionable NSF grants, and he's now pushing legislation that would require greater financial accountability from the agency.
Climate change is a term used to describe the extreme weather shifts in the last 50 years attributed to higher levels of carbon dioxide from the use of fossil fuels. The tension between Smith, who questions the extent of climate change, and the play's proponents underscores the political divide over global warming.
The play, designed to entertain as well as educate theater-goers, is "a continent-hopping thriller," according to "The Great Immensity" website, that follows a woman who's searching for her husband after he disappears from a tropical island while working for a nature program.
There's more intrigue as she discovers a plot that may upend an international climate conference in Paris. The play covers a lot of ground, from the Panama Canal to the Arctic Circle.
Written and directed by Steve Cosson with songs by Michael Friedman, it's described in a Public Theater release as "a highly theatrical look into one of the most vital questions of our time: How can we change ourselves and our society in time to solve the enormous environmental challenges that confront us?"
Smith doesn't see it that way.
While the Texan is protesting the NSF grant because he thinks the money should be spent on science research, he's also skeptical about climate change.
"Contrary to the claims of those who want to strictly regulate carbon dioxide emissions and increase the cost of energy for all Americans, there is a great amount of uncertainty associated with climate science," he wrote in a Washington Post opinion piece last year.
Most climate scientists think differently. According to NASA, 97 percent of climate scientists believe that human activity has caused a warming trend over the past century, and most leading scientific organizations agree.
The play's author is in the activist wing of the theater world. Cosson is the founding artistic director of The Civilians, founded in 2001, which describes itself as investigative theater.
"The play takes its name from an enormous Chinese Panamax ship that the authors observed crossing the Panama Canal," according to the theater troupe's website. The drama was developed with material from interviews with scientists and indigenous people in Barro Colorado Island in the Panama Canal and the city of Churchill in arctic Canada.
What was the taxpayer money used for?
"NSF supported the R&D work early in this project, which includes script development," Dana Topousis, the NSF's acting division director of public affairs, said in an email. "NSF funding for 'The Great Immensity' included the development and finalization of the script during prototyping/testing, development of materials and multimedia for the stage production, actors' salaries during prototype/testing and development of a website related to the play. NSF funding did not go to operating expenses or travel."
The NEA gave $15,000 in 2010 for development and workshop production of the play and $50,000 in 2012 for "community engagement" to connect creative artists with the scientific community.
Environmental groups are supportive of the play; climate change critics support Smith.
"At The Climate Group, we believe that artistic platforms offer a unique opportunity to explore and enhance the most urgent issue of our time: climate change," said Kirsten Strom , affiliate event coordinator for the environmental group's Climate Week NYC. "Theater, music, poetry and paintings have a catalytic power and one which can really re-energize citizens."
Jim Lakely, the director of communications at The Heartland Institute, a Chicago-based conservative research center, laughed when told of the federal investment in the play.
"No public money at all should be going to this frivolity," he said. "It is the definition of wasted taxpayer dollars. Besides, it's not like there's a shortage of wealthy climate alarmists in the private sector who could fund this musical."
"The Great Immensity" began previews April 11, opened Thursday and concludes its run next Thursday.

To be clear, you are saying it is impossible for one instance to occur where I (or anyone in the world) to handle a gun while assuming it is unloaded, point the firearm towards something I do not wish to destroy, with my finger on the trigger, and without knowing what is near where it is pointing and what it beyond without killing someone?Evidently a learning session on what the words sufficient and necessary actually mean are required for this thread.

England 54 Fiji 12: Lancaster's young side show promise in perfect warm-up for Australia
16:29 GMT, 10 November 2012
17:01 GMT, 10 November 2012
Charlie Sharples scored his first two Test tries as England prepared for the more ferocious challenges to come with a record victory over Fiji.
The Gloucester wing, making his first Test start at Twickenham, was joined on the scoresheet by Ugo Monye, flanker Tom Johnson and centre Manu Tuilagi, who touched down twice late on against the tiring Fijians.
England's pack was so superior they struggled to retain control at times but their power did earn a penalty try while Fiji's captain and tight-head prop Deacon Manu was watching from the sin-bin.
Two-try hero: Manu Tuilagi went over twice at Twickenham
England had talked about imposing
themselves from the outset, about being ruthless and showing no mercy on
Fiji as they prepare to face Australia, South Africa and world
champions New Zealand.
Head coach Stuart Lancaster will be
satisfied with the seven-try performance, disappointed by the two tries
England conceded and aware they will need to be more accurate when the
Wallabies come to town next Saturday.
England must retain their fourth place
ranking through this most challenging autumn campaign to be among the
top seeds when the 2015 World Cup draw is made on December 3.
England paid the price for starting
slowly on their summer tour of South Africa and a more clinical team
would have punished them in the first 20 minutes today.
Fiji bossed the opening quarter, with
the powerful Gloucester number eight Akapusi Qera causing England all
sorts of problems around the fringes.
England fell foul of referee Glen
Jackson, the former Saracens fly-half, and had Danny Care sin-binned for
what was considered to be a dangerous tackle.
It looked harsh but no one could have
denied that Fiji deserved the lead they would have had if fly-half
Metuisela Talebula had not dropped two penalty kicks woefully short.
Make mine a double: Charlie Sharples scored two tries also
Versatlie: Man-of-the-match Alex Goode operated as a makeshift scrum-half with Danny Care sin-binned
In the end, England negotiated Care's
absence and then turned the tables on Fiji, with man of the match Alex
Goode particularly impressive in his role as the second play-maker.
After Flood had kicked England into
the lead, the men in white attacked in waves and Sharples marked his
first Twickenham start with his first Test try.
The Gloucester wing collected Goode's
offload and cut in-field, wriggling and driving his way through three
Fijian defenders before stretching for the line.
Johnson, debutant Tom Youngs and
captain Chris Robshaw all carried powerfully to keep England on the
front foot and Fiji's only answer to the pressure was to spoil.
Flood added a second penalty, taking
his Test points tally past the 250 mark, before Fiji captain Manu was
sin-binned but England were guilty of butchering chances.
England failed to control their own
five-metre scrum and when they spread the ball wide, the final pass from
Joe Marler to Brad Barritt went forward and straight into touch.
This was not the clinical execution coach Andy Farrell had demanded but England's pressure was too much for Fiji to bear.
When Robshaw was held up over the
line, the pack England remained disciplined and twice shoved Fiji
backwards to earn the penalty try.
Motoring nicely: Ugo Monye's try pushed the score onto 25-0
Fiji received a let-off when Sharples'
chip ahead just brushed the in-goal whitewash before he could touch it
down but England kept coming.
Care was scragged just short of the
line but Fiji conceded yet another penalty and Monye benefited from the
quick tap to score on his first England appearance in over two years.
Flood extended England's lead with a
penalty soon after the restart and ran at Fiji again, with Tuilagi and
then Care making a dart for the line.
England spread the ball wide and Dan
Cole crashed over the line in search of his second international try but
the television official ruled he had been held up.
Saracens prop Mako Vunipola was sent
on for his debut and England built from the attacking platform, working
an overlap down the left and Robshaw sent Johnson over for his first
Test try.
England switched off and allowed Fiji
to score an eye-catching consolation, with Malaki Ravulo streaking away
from Tuilagi before Talebula kicked ahead to score.
Flood then scuffed the kick-off, to
cap an unceremonious couple of minutes but they were soon back in the
groove with Monye benefiting from Barritt's decoy run to cut an
excellent line.
Up and running: Charlie Sharples scored the opening try
High riser: Geoff Parling holds on as England win a lineout
Flood then exploited the space out
left, launching a long pass for Sharples, who stepped inside his men and
scored his second try of the match.
England began to ring the changes and
Ben Youngs came on to join his elder brother Tom, who produced an
impressive Test debut before making way for David Paice.
Ben Youngs and Mike Brown both dropped the ball over the line as England looked to turn the screw against a tiring Fiji team.
Qera somehow managed to haul down a
barnstorming run from Waldrom but Fiji were stretched again as quick
hands from Barritt allowed Tuilagi to dive over in the corner.
The Leicester centre then brushed
aside a weak tackle to touch down again but Fiji had the final word,
with Seko Kalou crashing over for their second try.
Tough to stop: Thomas Waldrom is tackled by Vereniki Goneva

Can you tell me which site do you think is the best for converting pdf files to png? I have tried the www.altoconvertpdftopng.com site and the output was fantastic there. Would love to know more about different sites.
These wallpapers haven't been very good recently. I would like to see a wallpaper depecting all of the workers at the australianwritings.com.au site, because that would be cool to see. Can that happen right now or not?

Next Israel-Hezbollah War Will Be Worse, Says U.S. Analyst
Research published by Washington Institute for Near East Policy says future Israel-Hezbollah war would likely draw in Iran and cover much of Lebanon, Israel and probably Syria.
In its next war against Hezbollah, the IDF's Northern Command would use the "Lebanon Corps" and five divisions - the 162nd, 36th, 98th, 366th and 319th, according to U.S. intelligence veteran Jeffrey White in research published last week by the pro-Israel Washington Institute for Near East Policy.
According to White, if another Israel-Hezbollah war breaks out it will not resemble the war of the summer of 2006, but will cover much of Lebanon and Israel, and probably also Syria, and is likely to also draw in Iran, involve major military operations, cause significant casualties among combatants and civilians, and destroy infrastructure.
Notwithstanding diplomatic efforts, success in the war will be decided on the battlefield, and White believes Israel is much better prepared for the next round than it was in 2006.
White says that the main aim of Israel in a war would be to impose a fundamental change in the military equilibrium and defeat Hezbollah, although not a "final victory." At the center of the Israeli military strategy will be combined arms operations, land-air-sea, with the aim of quickly destroying Hezbollah's rocket and missile arsenals and the group's land forces in southern Lebanon, and seriously disrupting its command and control centers by hitting its infrastructure throughout Lebanon.
Israel will seek to prevent the war from expanding to involve Syria, with threats, mobilizing reserves, moving forces and "flexing muscles," but will not hesitate to attack Syrian forces, infrastructure and Iranian elements that will come to Hezbollah's assistance.
White says that Israel will seek to deter Iran from directly attacking its territory through warnings and preparing strategic attack elements - airborne, missiles and naval units.
Hezbollah's plan will be to fire volleys of missiles and rockets against Israel's homefront in an effort to strike at the IDF forces moving toward Lebanon, in the hope of causing massive casualties. The Syrian air force will try to prevent Israeli fighters and reconnaissance aircraft from crossing through Syrian airspace, and possibly try to intercept them over Lebanon, in view of the proximity of the Syrian capital to the area of the fighting.
If Syria finds itself involved directly in the fighting, its main efforts will be to preserve the Assad regime in Damascus, with less emphasis on helping Hezbollah in Lebanon and its ability to strike at Israel, or restoring Syria's military presence in Lebanon and defeating Israel in order to restore the Golan Heights to its control.
Iran's reaction will begin with the flow of arms to Hezbollah and Syria, and Iran will step up the presence of advisers, technicians and light combat forces, aimed at carrying out attacks against Israeli targets, increasing tension in the region (with hostile actions in the Strait of Hormuz ), and possibly launching missiles against Israel.
There is no certainty that Hamas will join the fighting, especially because Israel may use the opportunity to bring about the collapse of its hold in the Gaza Strip, he added.
White says that in his assessment, the IDF will occupy parts - possibly significant portions - of Lebanon within weeks, and possibly all the Gaza Strip. He says that it will be the most serious war Israel has been involved in since 1973, and Israel must emerge victorious.
If Israel is determined in its actions, and willing to pay the price in casualties and damage incurred, it will succeed militarily, break the military power of Hezbollah and weaken it politically, White says. The Syrian regime will be weakened, and Iran's activity in the region will be contained because of the downfall of its allies. If Iran does not assist its allies, it will also lose much of its influence.
Hamas, if it becomes involved directly in the war, will lose its military power in the Gaza strip and at least some of its political power.
The former Defense Intelligence Agency analyst says the U.S. should not rush to contain Israel, but give the IDF the time and space necessary to complete its operations against Hezbollah and Syria.
White says that the U.S. role will be to deter Iran from becoming involved in support of Lebanon-Syria or in the Persian Gulf.

GateHouse Media Announces Preliminary Financial Results for Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2012
Feb 11, 2013, 05:00 EST
FAIRPORT, N.Y., Feb. 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- GateHouse Media, Inc. (the "Company" or "GateHouse Media") (OTCPink Sheets : GHSE ), a leading multi-media company providing news and information to local communities, today reported preliminary unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 30, 2012. GateHouse Media has not finalized its financial closing process or the audit of its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 30, 2012, and may identify items that would require adjustments to these preliminary financial results. GateHouse Media expects to release final results on March 7, 2013, after market hours.
For the fourth quarter, GateHouse Media expects total revenues of approximately $125.6 million, GAAP operating income of approximately $9.5 million to $10.5 million and As Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $22.3 million to $23.3 million. On a same store basis, adjusting for an extra week in the fourth quarter of 2011 and the sale of a group of weekly publications in Chicago on October 1, 2012, total revenue is expected to decline 6.1% in the fourth quarter of 2012.
For the full year, GateHouse Media expects total revenues of approximately $491.0 million, GAAP operating income of approximately $28.0 million to $29.0 million and As Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $80.0 million to $81.0 million. On a same store basis, adjusting for an extra week in the fourth quarter of 2011 and the sale of a group of weekly publications in Chicago on October, 1, 2012, total revenue is expected to decline 4.2% for the full year.
The same store fourth quarter results are expected to be driven by strong digital revenue growth of 22.4% offset by declines in print advertising. Total advertising revenue in the fourth quarter is expected to decline 9.1% on a same store basis as growth in digital advertising should be more than offset by an expected 11.4% decline in total print advertising. The print declines are expected to be primarily from local and classified advertising, down 8.2% and 16.7%, respectively. Circulation revenue is expected to be relatively flat compared to the prior year as price increases offset volume declines.
The expected revenue declines in the fourth quarter were slightly worse than recent quarterly reports and there were several factors that influenced the quarter that the Company believes are primarily temporary in nature. First, new Massachusetts legislation has altered and slowed the foreclosure process leading to large delays in the timing of foreclosure revenues, which has negatively impacted classified revenues. Second, a soft economic climate for small businesses in the quarter combined with uncertainty surrounding the fiscal cliff caused local small businesses to pull back on advertising spend, particularly in mid to late December. Finally, the Company continued to invest in opportunistic top line growth opportunities, including digital service offerings and audience extension products. These investments resulted in operating expense increases, particularly for sales force hiring and training. The Company believes it will be better positioned to capture future top line growth as a result of these investments and opportunities.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
A non-GAAP financial measure is generally defined as one that purports to measure historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows, but excludes or includes amounts that would not be so adjusted in the most comparable GAAP measure. GateHouse Media defines and uses Adjusted EBITDA, As Adjusted EBITDA, As Adjusted Revenues, and Levered Free Cash Flow, non-GAAP financial measures, as set forth below. The Company strongly urges stockholders and other interested persons not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate its business. In addition, because Adjusted EBITDA, As Adjusted EBITDA, As Adjusted Revenues and Levered Free Cash Flow are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and are susceptible to varying calculations, these non-GAAP measures, as presented in this press release, may differ from and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Adjusted EBITDA, As Adjusted EBITDA, As Adjusted Revenues and Levered Free Cash Flow
The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as income (loss) from continuing operations before interest, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization and other non-recurring or non-cash items. The Company defines As Adjusted EBITDA as Adjusted EBITDA before other non-cash items such as non-cash compensation, non-recurring integration and reorganization costs and Adjusted EBITDA from non-wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company defines As Adjusted Revenues as total revenues plus revenues of discontinued operations less revenues from non-wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company defines Levered Free Cash Flow as As Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures, cash taxes and interest expense, excluding non-wholly owned subsidiaries.
Management's Use of Adjusted EBITDA, As Adjusted EBITDA, As Adjusted Revenues and Levered Free Cash Flow
Adjusted EBITDA, As Adjusted EBITDA, As Adjusted Revenues and Levered Free Cash Flow are not measurements of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to income from operations, net income (loss), cash flow from continuing operating activities or any other measure of performance or liquidity derived in accordance with GAAP. GateHouse Media's management believes these non-GAAP measures, as defined above, are useful to investors for the following reasons:
- Evaluating performance and identifying trends in day-to-day performance because the items excluded have little or no significance on its day-to-day operations;
- Providing assessments of controllable expenses that afford management the ability to make decisions which are expected to facilitate meeting current financial goals as well as achieving optimal financial performance; and
- Indicators for management to determine if adjustments to current spending decisions are needed.
Adjusted EBITDA, As Adjusted EBITDA, As Adjusted Revenues and Levered Free Cash Flow provide GateHouse Media with measures of financial performance, independent of items that are beyond the control of management in the short-term, such as depreciation and amortization, taxation and interest expense associated with its capital structure. These metrics measure GateHouse Media's financial performance based on operational factors that management can impact in the short-term, namely the cost structure or expenses of the organization. Adjusted EBITDA, As Adjusted EBITDA, As Adjusted Revenues and Levered Free Cash Flow are some of the metrics used by senior management and the Board of Directors to review the financial performance of the business on a monthly basis. In addition, GateHouse Media's management utilizes these metrics to evaluate the Company's performance, along with other criteria, to determine the funds available for paying the quarterly dividend.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain items in this press release may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including without limitation, statements relating to progress made by the Company in its integration efforts, growth in revenues and cash flow, on-line revenues, expense reduction efforts and potential acquisition and sale opportunities. Forward-looking statements are generally identifiable by use of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "potential," "intend," "expect," "endeavor," "seek," "anticipate," "estimate," "overestimate," "underestimate," "believe," "could," "would," "project," "predict," "continue" or other similar words or expressions. Forward looking statements are based on certain assumptions or estimates, discuss future expectations, describe future plans and strategies, contain projections of results of operations or of financial condition or state other forward-looking information. The Company's ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, actual results and performance could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations and future prospects or which could cause events or circumstances to differ from the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the condition of the economy and the credit markets generally, the Company's ability to maintain adequate liquidity and financing sources and an appropriate level of debt, the Company's ability to maintain debt covenants, the Company's ability to successfully grow digital revenues and audience and consumer revenues, the Company's ability to successfully stabilize print revenues, the ability of the Company to successfully identify and develop new business ventures, the Company's ability to close on a timely basis upon announced or contemplated transactions, unexpected liabilities arising from any transaction or that the Company will not receive the expected benefits from the transaction, the Company's ability to generate sufficient cash flow to cover required interest and long-term obligations, the effect of the Company's indebtedness and long-term obligations on its liquidity, the Company's ability to integrate acquired assets and businesses, any increases in the price or reduction in the availability of newsprint, seasonal and other fluctuations affecting the Company's revenues and operating results, any declines in circulation, the Company's ability to obtain additional capital on terms acceptable to it, the Company's ability to compete effectively in the local media industry, the Company's success or failure in pursuing its digital business and related initiatives and strategic realignments and undertakings, increases in health costs, the Company's vulnerability to economic downturns, regulatory changes or acts of nature in certain geographic areas, increases in competition for skilled personnel, a portion of the Company's workforce being unionized, departure of key officers, increases in market interest rates, the cost and difficulty of complying with increasing and evolving regulation, and other risks detailed from time to time in the Company's SEC reports, including but not limited to its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC under Commission File Number 001-33091. When considering forward- looking statements, readers should keep in mind the risk factors and other cautionary statements in such SEC filings. Readers are also cautioned not to place undue reliance on any of these forward-looking statements, which reflect management's views as of the date of this press release. The factors discussed above and the other factors noted in the Company's SEC filings could cause actual results to differ significantly from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, it cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements and expressly disclaims any obligation to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in expectations with regard thereto or change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any statement is based.

The jury in the Apple vs Samsung patent trial has awarded damages to Apple to the tune of $1,051,855,000, following a landmark ruling.
The jury found the Samsung had indeed been in violation of Apple's various software and hardware patents, and had lead to trade-dress dilution.
After just two days of deliberation the jury decided that Apple was entitled to substantial compensation that breaks down as follows:
$57,000,000 for the Samsung Prevail
$44,792,974 for the Infused 4G
$53,123,612 for the Mesmerize
$3,350,256 for the Replenish
$954,060 for the Transform
Being a US based case all the Samsung device in question are US models but the implications for the companies involved and for the industry are much wider.

Recognizing that most institutions of higher learning must make use of the growing range of systems for the delivery of instruction, including various electronic means, Central Maine Community College (the "College") believes that the expansion of distance education is necessary for the College to further the goals of the Maine Community College System's "Rural Initiative" and to provide an effective means of fulfilling the College's mission of providing accessible, high-quality educational experiences.
The main mission of distance education at the College is to offer courses without faculty, time or location constraints. Additional components of the mission include providing flexible learning opportunities for students with a variety of unique needs and maximizing the use of available technology for cost-effective instruction. Finally, increasing enrollment by meeting the instructional needs of non-traditional students is yet another College goal addressed by this initiative.

Online learning is great for people from all walks of life who require a flexible schedule to accommodate their busy lifestyle. Online students who are most successful are self-motivated, active in online participation with the instructor and other classmates, organized and disciplined. Students should have basic knowledge of computer usage including the Internet, word processing, e-mail, and downloading and uploading files.
Online courses are similar to classroom courses. A typical class includes a syllabus, assignments and papers, lecture notes, slides and presentations, audio or video lectures, class discussions, tests and quizzes and study guides.
Online courses are defined as courses taught completely online. Students access primary content and instruction from an online environment using a variety of tools including email, chat, discussion boards, web pages and multimedia technologies. Specific technologies employed will vary by course and instructor. Depending on the teaching style of the instructor and the course content, instruction can take place synchronously (all participants in the course log in at the same time) or asynchronously (participants log in and participate as their schedule permits), or some combination of the above.
You will be responsible ensuring you log in regularly to obtain and review materials, participate in discussions, take tests, and submit assignments. As with in-classroom courses, you will be expected to meet due dates and deadlines set by the instructor. You will be able to interact with your instructors and classmates and will have access to your course materials 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Students who do online learning follow the same academic and college guidelines as those who take in-classroom courses.
Hybrid courses are a great choice for those looking for the flexibility of an online course, with some traditional in-classroom learning. Hybrid courses are defined as courses which are scheduled in the traditional classroom but a percentage of the course content, including exams, quizzes and instruction is delivered on-line. Students must attend class on campus but on fewer occasions than in traditional courses. Similar to Online courses, specific technologies employed in Hybrid courses will vary by course and instructor. Likewise, the percent of in-class and on-line instruction will vary by course and instructor.

Morning Madonna
Hans, the Younger Holbein (1497-1543). The Solothurn Madonna (detail) 1522
In this blog, I try to begin each day with a painting of the Madonna & Child. It centers me; connects me to the past; & encourages me to post some of the religious paintings which were a large part of the core of early Western art. In the 4C, as the Christian population was rapidly growing & was now supported by the state, Christian art evolved & became grander to suit new, enlarged public spaces & the changing contemporary tastes of elite private clients.

Date: 01.08.2009
Publication: Telegraph.co.uk
Author: Hilary Whitney
She was an acclaimed classical composer living in rural Scotland; he was the hip king of saxophone from Louisiana. In theory, their paths should never have crossed. But, in a chance encounter, the rarefied worlds of jazz and classical collided, and the meeting gave birth to a beautiful new musical direction for both of them that will be premiered this month.
In the summer of 2006, award-winning composer Sally Beamish was struggling to finish a commission for violist Lawrence Power and the Scottish Ensemble. "The starting point was a poem, 'Lullaby of the Snow', which was supposed to have been sung by a mother to her child fleeing the massacre at Glencoe, but, despite my excitement at for the story, something was missing."
So, when she discovered that world-renowned saxophonist Branford Marsalis was to perform her concerto The Imagined Sound of Sun on Stone at the North Sea Jazz Festival in Rotterdam, she seized the opportunity to put her work on hold and went to see Marsalis play. "I was intrigued," she says, "that this classical work of mine, inspired by Orkney and traditional Swedish herding calls, should have been picked up by an American jazz musician I'd never worked with."
Beamish arrived at the festival while Marsalis was rehearsing. "It was astonishing to sit at the back of this vast auditorium and listen to Branford's reading of a piece that had been played only by classical soloists. Brandford's sound was warm, rich and expressive, with its own keening speech-like freedom."
Beamish admits to being nervous about the actual performance of her work in this alien environment. "I was worried about how it would go down with a jazz audience. The atmosphere at a jazz festival is completely different from a classical music event. People hang around to get a taste of a concert before moving on to listen to something else, and I wondered whether the audience would stick around long enough to 'get' it. But people didn't walk out. They stayed and listened.
"Branford's performance was a revelation. When he plays classical music, he plays in a classical way, and, while his improvisation was jazz-infused, he didn't turn it into a jazz piece."
After the concert, Beamish and Marsalis talked for hours, and when Beamish returned home and resumed work on her commission, she realised that her encounter with Marsalis had opened her mind to new possibilities for the piece. "The material, which had been sitting dully on the page, came to life, and a strong jazz element suddenly began to emerge," she says. "It all flowed quite naturally; I didn't have to use any of the techniques of note manipulation that I often use."
The result, a concerto for viola and strings entitled Under the Wing of the Rock – a line from the lullaby – was premiered in October 2006.Shortly afterwards, Beamish rescored a new version for saxophone, which she dedicated to Marsalis although she balked at sending it to him: "I just couldn't see when he'd ever get to play it."
Then, in autumn 2008, Beamish was asked if she would write something for Celtic Connections, the annual festival held in Glasgow to celebrate traditional Scottish music and its connections with cultures across the globe. Beamish realised this would be the perfect platform for the saxophone version of Under the Wing, a Celtic-inspired piece by a classical composer, performed by an American jazz musician.
To Beamish's delight, Marsalis agreed to perform Under the Wing at the festival on the 250th anniversary of Robert Burns's birth. She was keen for Marsalis to make the piece his own. "I told him that I didn't want him to change the orchestral parts, but, if there was a place where he wanted to put them on hold and do his own thing, he could. He replied that he didn't want to do that because it's all in the music already. I think that's probably because it's so inspired by him."
That maybe the case, but, as Marsalis points out: "People in symphonic circles love the idea of improvisation because it's such a mystery to them. But it's Sally's piece, and my job is to interpret it.
"Improvisation in classical music comes from tone, timbre and tempo. There are lots of things you can do within the structure of the piece without suddenly stopping and doing a solo."
Marsalis is a huge fan of the original version but has been careful not to listen to it too often. "It's beautiful, but there are things you can do on the viola that you can't do on the sax and vice verse, and, as I've only got one shot at playing it, I really need to play the piece myself and start hearing it in my head."
Their collaboration won't end with the festival – Beamish is currently writing some original string scoring for Marsalis's jazz quartet. "Not backing music," she says, "but something he and his colleagues can bounce off, creating a new dynamic." However, she is adamant she's not about to change direction musically. "There have always been a lot of jazz inflections and harmonies in my music, but I'd be very hesitant to go too far down that road. I think the reason that Branford is interested in working with me is because I'm not a jazz musician – there's so much interest and stimulation we can bring to each other's worlds.
"I don't know when I've looked forward to a premiere with more anticipation and excitement."

from the an-avalanche-of-no-to-sopa dept
Next up, we have that bastion of "piracy," the ACLU. Yeah, that's a joke. The ACLU is hardly a defender of infringement, but is absolutely in favor of free speech, and quite concerned about the censorship mechanisms in the bill:
By their very nature, laws protecting copyrights constrain free speech and access to information. Unlike other speech restrictions, however, copyright laws may also advance the generation of information and ideas. A robust copyright system encourages free speech by giving speakers incentives to create and disseminate works of authorship. Such laws add to the marketplace of ideas by encouraging the creation of more content through the assurance that content producers will receive the fruits of their labor. But access to information of all kinds -- even disfavored information -- is a fundamental right that must be protected. Even more to the point, the mere existence of infringing content online does not justify the removal of non-infringing content in the course of attempting to rid the internet of the former. These established principles should not change or be treated differently just because technology has changed.The letter goes on to highlight exactly how and where SOPA infringes on the First Amendment. It also notes that passing SOPA would be setting a terrible precedent for the rest of the world.
SOPA, unfortunately, is substantially worse than PROTECT IP. By eliminating the concept of sites 'dedicated to infringing activity', SOPA enables law enforcement to target all sites that contain some infringing content -- no matter how trivial -- and those who 'facilitate' infringing content. The potential for impact on non-infringing content is exponentially greater under SOPA than under other versions of this bill. As such, despite our support for the protection of the legitimate copyright interests of online content producers, we cannot support SOPA, and in fact we oppose it in its current form, given its broad sweep and its heavy hand that will land largely upon innocent content producers. We urge Committee members to focus not just on the goal of protecting copyright owners, but also protecting the speech rights of consumers and providers who are reading and producing wholly non-infringing content and to eliminate the collateral damage to such protected content. Only in that way will the Committee truly achieve its goal of protecting authors and allow the legislation to survive constitutional challenge.
Next up, there's a letter from over 40 different human rights groups, noting their concerns with SOPA and how it will create significant problems for human rights around the globe:
Through SOPA, the United States is attempting to dominate a shared global resource. Building a nationwide firewall and creating barriers for international website and service operators makes a powerful statement that the United States is not interested in participating in a global information infrastructure. Instead, the United States would be creating the very barriers that restrict the free flow of information that it has vigorously challenged abroad. By imposing technical changes to the open internet while eroding due process, SOPA introduces a deeply concerning degree of legal uncertainty into the internet economy, particularly for businesses and users internationally. Business cannot be conducted online when international users and businesses do not have faith that their access to payments, domain names, and advertising will be available, raising challenges to economic development and innovation. This is as unacceptable to the international community as it would be if a foreign country were to impose similar measures on the United States.It still amazes me that SOPA's supporters don't realize what a big deal this is. Giving foreign nations the "ok" to censor the internet is a ridiculously stupid policy.
The provisions in SOPA on DNS filtering in particular will have severe consequences worldwide. In China, DNS filtering contributes to the Great Firewall that prevents citizens from accessing websites or services that have been censored by the Chinese government. By instituting this practice in the United States, SOPA sends an unequivocal message to other nations that it is acceptable to censor speech on the global Internet.
Next up on the tour of folks coming out against SOPA, we've got a bunch of public interest groups, including the American Library Association, Association of Research Libraries, Human Rights Watch, New America Foundation's Open Technology Initiative, TechFreedom, FreedomHouse, the Competitive Enterprise Institute, EFF, Public Knowledge and others.
We do not dispute that there are hubs of online infringement. But the definitions of the sites that would be subject to SOPA's remedies are so broad that they would encompass far more than those bad actors profiting from infringement. By including all sites that may -- even inadvertently -- "facilitate" infringement, the bill raises serious concerns about overbreadth. Under section 102 of the bill, a nondomestic startup video-sharing site with thousands of innocent users sharing their own noninfringing videos, but a small minority who use the site to criminally infringe, could find its domain blocked by U.S. DNS operators. Countless non-infringing videos from the likes of aspiring artists, proud parents, citizen journalists, and human rights activists would be unduly swept up by such an actions. Furthermore, overreach resulting from the bill is more likely to impact the operators of smaller websites and services that do not have the legal capacity to fight false claims of infringement.Had enough yet? Okay, well how about various consumer interest groups? Consumers Union, Consumer Federation of America and US PIRG sent a letter as well.
Relying on an even broader definition of "site dedicated to theft of US property," section 103 of SOPA creates a private right of action of breathtaking scope. Any rightsholder could cut off the financial lifeblood of services such as search engines, user-generated content platforms, social media, and cloud-based storage unless those services actively monitor and police user activity to the rightsholder's satisfaction. A mere accusation by any rightsholder would be sufficient to require payment systems and ad networks to terminate doing business with the service; the accused service's only recourse would be to send a counter-notice, at which point it would be at the networks' discretion whether to reinstate the service's access to payments and advertising. This would bypass and effectively overturn the basic framework of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), by pushing user-driven sites like Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook to implement ever-more elaborate monitoring systems to "confirm," to the satisfaction of the most aggressive and litigious rightsholder, whether individual users are exchanging infringing content.
The bill would allow rights holders to send notices to payment processors and advertising networks, ordering them to cut off funding to sites the rights holders believe are "dedicated to the theft of U.S. property." However, this definition is extremely broad. Section 103(a)(1)(B)(ii) defines a "site dedicated to the theft of U.S. property" as including any site whose owner "takes active steps to avoid confirming a high probability" that it is being used (even by others) for infringement. This means that an entirely legitimate site can be defunded, and even enjoined entirely, merely because a few of its users may have infringed. Consequently, overzealous rights holders could shut down lawful exchange sites like craigslist, eBay, swap.com, or BookCrossing, closing off valuable outlets for small-scale buying and selling. For instance, a legitimate student-to-student textbook exchange site could be hampered or shut down by a publisher for the actions of just a few infringing users, raising the costs of an already-expensive education.Next on the list, we have a surprise entrant: the Brookings Institution. Unlike plenty of "think tanks" who are nothing more than lobbying shops in disguise, Brookings has an incredibly strong reputation for both intellectual honesty and credibility -- and thus it's widely viewed as one of the most influential public policy think tanks around. Not surprisingly, it's take may be a bit more measured, but it raises significant concerns about the cybersecurity impact of the bill:
Secure online communication and commerce is also of critical importance to consumers. Yet, the bill could undermine the security of consumers. Section 102(c)(2)(A) allows for court orders that would block domain name system (DNS) operators from providing access to the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses of targeted sites. In other words, a consumer attempting to access an allegedly infringing site would get an error message or be redirected to another page. However, redirecting DNS queries (to phishing sites and other fraudulent websites) is also a common tactic used by malicious hackers to steal millions of dollars from consumers....
Finally, the bill grants complete immunity to a very large class of actors, including Internet service providers, advertising networks, advertisers, search engines, and payment networks, for cutting off access to a targeted site as long as they can claim their actions were taken in the reasonable belief that the site was suspected of encouraging infringement. This blanket immunity from all federal and state laws and regulations could allow the above actors to act in ways that would harm consumers. For example, Internet service providers could block access to online services that compete with their own telephone or video offerings under a justification of curbing alleged infringement, depriving consumers of legitimate alternatives to high-priced services. The broad immunity of the statute would prevent consumers or consumer protection agencies from policing or addressing such anti-consumer or anticompetitive.
I highlight the very real threats to cybersecurity in a small section of both bills in their attempts to execute policy through the Internet architecture. While these bills will not "break the Internet," they further burden cyberspace with three new risks. First, the added complexity makes the goals of stability and security more difficult. Second, the expected reaction of Internet users will lead to demonstrably less secure behavior, exposing many American Internet users, their computers and even their employers to known risks. Finally, and most importantly, these bills will set back other efforts to secure cyberspace, both domestically and internationally. As such, policymakers are encouraged to analyze the net benefits of these bills in light of the increased cybersecurity risks.Also worried about the security angle is the respected security firm ESET, who makes clear the damage the DNS provisions will do:
Based on my work, and that of my team of researchers, I have to say that this legislation, if passed as currently written, would have a chilling effect on the economy of the United States.And, finally, we have TechAmerica, one of the biggest and most respected tech trade associations, representing over 1,200 companies -- and one of the most important organizations when it comes to helping to fundraise for politicians. I'd been disappointed that TechAmerica had been relatively quiet on this issue, so it's great to see it come out strongly against SOPA. After spending over a page agreeing that rogue sites and infringement are big problems, TechAmerica's letter notes:
More than 100 million Internet users in over 180 countries rely on ESET products to protect their personal and enterprise data systems. This gives ESET a unique perspective on the DNS filtering proposed by SOPA and PIPA. There is hardly any part of the United States economy today that does not depend upon the smooth operation of the Internet, which in turn relies upon the integrity of the Domain Name system (DNS). The DNS filtering proposed in SOPA and PIPA would seriously undermine that integrity.
While ESET fully supports the goals of protecting IP and reducing piracy, our experiences combating cybercrime for more than 20 years suggest that SOPA and PIPA will do little to advance these goals. What we are sure they will do is undermine valuable efforts to improve the security of the Internet. Without those improvements, expansion of the global digital economy, of which the United States is clearly a leader, as well as a leading beneficiary, will falter.
Sadly, neither chamber of Congress has produced thoroughly acceptable legislation, but SOPA in particular marks a clear retreat from a history of Congressional support of the digital revolution. That support has often come in the form of not imposing regulation on the industry, and certainly never before has such a wholesale shifting of costs and responsibilities of property owners onto technology companies been contemplated -- a shift away from a careful balance and toward legislation that favors one industry over another.I'm sure there are some others that I've missed, but it's great to see so many organizations coming out so strongly against SOPA. Can defenders of the bill continue to pretend that it's just a small opposition now? Or that it's just those who wish to infringe who are opposed to SOPA's broad language and vague definitions?
Put another way, the approach taken in SOPA leads one to wonder why the DMCA would even be used in the future. Using SOPA�s proposed broad new inducement provision, one could simply ignore the current DMCA safe harbors and use intermediaries to accomplish the end goal, and if damages were warranted, merely later sue for infringement. Moreover, important measures to make sure that the proposals keep pace with technology, such as the DMCA requires with the triennial rulemaking on exceptions to the prohibition on circumvention of access and use controls, are non-existent. Along those same lines we are also dismayed that the proposed legislation relies on "simple" technical measures to address complex international issues that are likely better handled through diplomacy, negotiation, constructive dialog and coordinated action. The proposed "solutions" carry risk, perhaps significant, and are likely to be easily circumvented....
SOPA merely shifts costs from content owners, the rightful protector of their content, to various other parties, rather than making sure that costs are appropriately placed.
This is a philosophical issue that runs to the heart of both proposals. Do we really want government forcing one industry to subsidize another, to be required by force of law to assist another industry in being successful? More typically we expect industries to operate within a market framework and with the freedom of contract to solve such challenges. In this case, Congress seems determined to step in and force one industry to provide subsistence to another.

By Edith Honan and Francesca Trianni
NEW YORK (Reuters) - New Yorkers were voting on Tuesday for a candidate to succeed Mayor Michael Bloomberg in a primary election that began with complaints that bulky 1960s-era mechanical voting machines had broken down, forcing people to use emergency ballots.
In a campaign that featured a scandal over lewd pictures, a council leader trying to become the city's first female and openly gay mayor, and grave warnings about public safety, it was the voting machines that were the issue on election morning.
Bill de Blasio, the city's public advocate, was leading the Democratic race with opinion polls showing him close to the 40 percent threshold needed to avoid a run-off, set for October 1 if necessary. His main rivals, City Council Speaker Christine Quinn and 2009 Democratic candidate Bill Thompson, are competing for second place.
The Democratic candidate will be heavily favored against any Republican in the November 5 general election to become Mayor of the most populous city in the United States with 8.3 million people for the next four years.
Polls opened at 6 a.m. EDT and were due to close at 9 p.m. EDT, but problems soon emerged. The Board of Elections was attempting to replace or repair voting machines and providing emergency ballots.
"In any instance where a machine is not functioning, a voter would never be disenfranchised and would always have an opportunity to cast their ballot, even if it's in the form of an emergency ballot," said Board spokeswoman Valerie Vazquez-Rivera.
She said that the last time the lever machines were used, in 2009, there was a 4.3 percent failure rate. An accurate assessment of their failure rate in this election would not be available until after voting concluded, she said.
New York's mechanical voting machines were retired after the 2009 election in favor an electronic system using optical scanners to read paper ballots.
The state government, however, approved bringing the old machines back for this primary election after the new system caused delays in the vote count in 2012.
Turnout is expected to be low in both Democratic Party and Republican Party primaries. One New Yorker, Zachary Werner, 28, said he had volunteered for national campaigns but did not plan to vote on Tuesday.
"The stakes are not as high," Werner said, describing the race as Democrats battling it out amongst themselves.
Republican candidate for mayor Joe Lhota was forced to use an emergency ballot when the lever machine broke at his polling station in the borough of Brooklyn.
"We're going back to paper ballot? Are you kidding?" Lhota said before handing out cookies to poll workers.
Lhota, the former head of the city's mass transit agency, is facing grocery chain billionaire businessman John Catsimatidis in the Republican primary.
At another Brooklyn polling place, an early voter was greeted by a poll worker who eagerly asked, "Are you here to fix the machines?"
One voter said she was concerned the results of the primary would be delayed because of the machine problems.
"I would like to see the results tonight and I know that it will delay things and that's unfortunate," said Cindry McDonald, 30, a labor union worker who voted by paper ballot in Brooklyn.
Two polls on Monday showed de Blasio with a comfortable lead. A Quinnipiac poll put his support at 39 percent, while in an NBC 4 New York/Wall Street Journal/Marist poll, he was the choice of 36 percent of likely voters.
"We expect a runoff, we're ready for a runoff, and we've been planning all along for it," de Blasio told reporters when he voted.
Underlining his central campaign theme, de Blasio criticized three-term Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
"The mayor has been increasingly unwilling to address inequality and that is the central issue of our times. I made inequality the core issue and I think people responded to it."
Just ahead of Tuesday's primary election, New York magazine published an interview with Bloomberg in which he effectively threw his support behind his close ally, council speaker Quinn.
Bloomberg criticized de Blasio for his campaign's emphasis on economic inequality. But he took particular issue with the prominent role de Blasio's mixed-race family has played in the campaign, suggesting the strategy was meant to fuel "class warfare" and was potentially "racist."
In the same arena, former Congressman Anthony Weiner is fighting for his political life, trailing in fourth place in most polls.
Weiner resigned from Congress in 2011 after admitting that he had sent lewd pictures of himself to women he met online and then lied about it.
When he announced his candidacy for mayor, he asked voters to give him a second chance, and he quickly moved to the top of polls. But campaign issues like police tactics and housing were overshadowed by another scandal involving lewd photographs he sent online, and his campaign collapsed.

Feb. 15, 2012
An "interrupter", as you may have learned in last night's episode of Frontline, tries to stop the urban cycle of violence by identifying those most likely to commit violent acts and "interrupting" them before they happen.
Last week at the WGBH studios at One Guest Street in Boston, Chicago-based "violence interrupter" Ameena Matthews participated in a panel discussion, hosted by 89.7 reporter Phillip Martin. After the event, she went out with several of StreetSafe Boston's "street workers" to see firsthand how Boston approaches this work.
Today at 1 p.m., Ameena and other guests participated in a live chat about the film, and about the larger topic of urban street violence that it addresses. The host for the live chat on Fronline is New York Times reporter Jason Deparle.

Subject Headings
Major Vocabularies
Library of Congress Subject Headings(LCSH) were developed and are maintained by the U.S. Library of Congress, initially for the collections of the Library. LCSH, as a controlled vocabulary used for indexing, cataloging, and searching for bibliographic records in library catalogs and electronic databases, has become a defacto standard for libraries who use cataloging records disseminated by the Library of Congress, or who catalog to the standards set collaboratively by the Library of Congress and the library community. LCSH is updated weekly.
Sears List of Subject Headings has been developed for small and medium-sized libraries, delivering a basic list of essential headings, together with patterns and examples to guide the cataloger in creating further headings as needed.
FAST (Faceted Application of Subject Terminology) is an adaptation of the Library of Congress Subject Headings with a simplified syntax. The purpose of adapting the LCSH with a simplified syntax to create FAST is to retain the very rich vocabulary of LCSH while making the schema easier to understand, control, apply, and use. The schema maintains upward compatibility with LCSH, and any valid set of LC subject headings can be converted to FAST headings.

text: It was a great result for Samoa however it was a second string Aus side (who is Nick Phipps?) and an Aus side that approached the game like it was a Super 15 fixture. Hospital passers thrown all over the shop while their forwards were complete powderpuff - Higginbotham did a Pierre Spies and spent most of the time when he was on hanging out with the backs while the likes of Elsom and Gits are simply there on rep. Should be a different kettle of fish next week but Deans does have a shocking record as Aus coach. Losses to Scotland, Munster and now Samoa, at home, he cant afford to get turned over by a 3rd string Bok side next week.
